Is this the biggest team in NHL history? I can't recall a team having more than 2 such players let alone 4

 

EDIT: short answer is no...they aren't even the biggest team this year...Winnipeg has only 2 players under 6'0" on their roster and they are both 5'11", and an astounding 7!! players 6'4" or taller including their starting goalie.

 

When the hell did the NHL become a league of giants??

Taller players do seem to be becoming a thing in the NHL but let's not confuse "big" with "tall". 

D men with reach is a big plus in today's game and that accounts for some of the tall for sure. We add some more "heavy" to our "tall" and we might really have something.

The late 90s Flyers were massive.  If you expand it to 6’3”, half their roster qualifies. For 6’4” and over they had close to a half dozen in any given year.
